    I mean the player is being asked to do it. The DM isn’t doing it for the player. The player can say whatever they want as “true” or “false,” and if they only want true rumors, just tell the DM?

    I’m probably missing something, but I’m confused as to how asking a player for some additional information in their character building that gets shared with the group to facilitate the game can be triggering in a way that goes beyond the game. I really do hate the “if you don’t like it, don’t play” response, but there are some things where the trigger is inherent to the activity.







  • Very often a policy can persist despite someone changing their views on it. Biden is President, he’s not in Congress anymore. The things he can do to effect changes that reflect his own changing views are different now. An example is his changing views on abortions over the last 18 years. In 2006, he stated he believed in limiting abortions, today he’s doing everything possible to protect access but as President, there’s not much he can do about Supreme Court decision and House/states controlled by Republicans. His views changed, but the political landscape makes actually accomplishing broader change near-impossible. That can’t be on him.
